Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to prove the proffered 'product manager' position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO determined the petitioner did not establish that a bachelor's degree in a specific specialty is the normal minimum requirement for the role, referencing the DOL's Occupational Outlook Handbook which states that individuals with business or liberal arts degrees can also enter the occupation.
